Compensation for Truck Accident Victims

As an experienced personal injury attorney, we are most concerned with the application of the law to the particular circumstances of a case for the sake of obtaining ample compensation for my clients. We explore sources of liability, such as the negligence of the commercial trucking company, the truck driver, or the manufacturer of defective truck parts on the vehicle. we pursue product liability claims and other personal injury or wrongful death claims.

Truck driver liability can be an issue when the driver has driven too many hours without stopping to sleep as required. The truck company may be liable for mismanaged hazardous material transportation or permit violations. Other factors to consider include truck maintenance records (driver's log), safety inspections, and hiring and training practices.
